Chapter 101: Inexplicably hooked

The princess's mansion had been lively for several days because of the archery incident, and some people in the court finally mentioned Qiushou.
The emperor became old after a period of illness, and was unable to recuperate in a short period of time. However, when the Qiu Shou incident was mentioned, he still got it right without thinking about it. For many people, Qiu Shou, It's not just a hunt. The emperor used it to select talents, and military commanders also used it as a way of promotion, and many aristocrats used it as a shortcut to become an official.
The autumn hunting every year does not know how many people are affected, and this year is no exception. It was just that the emperor had just gotten sick. The prince was weak in recent years, and the kings lost more than half of them. The royal family suddenly seemed much weaker.
This is not a good phenomenon, so the emperor this year made a special order. In addition to bringing all the princesses, he also specially selected a few emperors and grandchildren to go with him. The eldest grandson of the East Palace will naturally not be missed, and the protagonists of the Prince Wu and the Prince Qi also agreed to go together. Even the relegated King Chu seemed to be remembered by the emperor at this time, and he specially recruited his eldest son to participate in the autumn hunting.
Not to mention anything else, these three palaces were all overjoyed when they received their orders. In particular, the Wu Palace and the Chu Palace, the former seemed to see the hope of inheriting the royal palace, and the latter even saw the possibility of rejuvenation, and they all urged their sons at home.
When Lu Qipei returned home, the Fuzhong also talked about Qiu Shou.
"Your Majesty has set this year's autumn hunting in mid-September, when the weather has already begun to cool down, and the autumn hunting will not return in a day. You have to prepare two thick clothes." Zhi Ting and Qi Yang said. Then, his face is full of joy of going out to play.
Qi Yang didn't care about these mundane affairs very much, and waved his hand casually after listening, "You just watch and prepare."
After speaking, she saw Lu Qipei at the door, and immediately greeted him with joy: "Apei, you are back. Come and see, what are you going to take with Qiu Shou? And the good bows in the arsenal, you go Choose one and it will be useful when you wait for the autumn hunting."
Lu Qipei said a few words to her, went to the screen and changed into the normal clothes, and then accompanied Qi Yang to the arsenal for a circle-the princess mansion is similar to the prince mansion, and there are armored men, but also armors. There are all. Although restricted by the court, there are only a few hundred sets, but an arsenal was specially built to install it. In addition, don't set up a place in the arsenal, it's the owner's private possession.
Qi Yang and Lu Qipei are both daughters and they don't like to dance knives and guns, but there are some collections of this kind. Among them, a few good swords and a few good bows were bestowed by the emperor or prince in the past three years.
The two randomly selected the bows in the arsenal for a while, and then they picked the bows that Qiu Shou would use. Lu Qipei circled inside again, and finally walked back with a pair of exquisite sleeve crossbows, and gestured on Qi Yang's arm: "Bring this too."
Qi Yang raised his eyebrows, but did not refuse, and he turned out a piece of soft armor to sign on Lu Qipei's body: "Isn't Qiu Shou not peaceful?"
Lu Qipei looked at the soft armor, his eyes brightened, and after taking it, he placed his backhand on Qi Yang and compared it with him: "I don't know. However, Chaozhong has been calm for a long time since King Wu’s accident. This autumn hunt, your Majesty has not only brought it. The prince goes, and even the older grandson has taken it with him. In case something accident happens on the hunting ground... Tsk, that's really a catch."
Qi Yang gave her a white look after hearing the words, and seemed to be dissatisfied with her crow-mouthed statement: "The emperor paid special attention this time and handed over the safety of the hunting ground to the emperor brother. In addition, the autumn hunter will bring five thousand feather forests. Where can accidents happen easily?"
Someone secretly played the black hand Qi Yang believed, but she didn't believe it if they blatantly wanted to kill their royal family. Are the emperor and prince really fools, or are the five thousand feather forests a decoration? Now that King Wei is as obedient as a quail, King Qi and Chu also have heirs with him, and there is no third prince who commits a disorder, how can such a storm be set off in the hinterland of Liang?
Unless Xie Yuan knows spells and waved his hand, all the soldiers of Rongguo will be sent to the hunting ground! But is it possible?
Lu Qipei didn't get angry when he received his eyes. He just smiled and said, "Just in case. Your majesty and the prince are naturally on guard, but you and I should be careful. No matter how bad, arrows are flying in the hunting ground, and accidents are also happening. There is always."
While she was speaking, Qi Yang held her hand in the soft armor gesture. The latter slapped her hand away and could not help but snatched the soft armor back. By the way, he gave her an angry look, obviously not intending to change his original intention.
Without saying anything else on this topic, Lu Qipei suddenly asked: "Lu Sheng has been clamoring to learn archery recently, do you want to take her this time?"
Qi Yang shook his head and refused without thinking about it, "No, just a little bit, why should I take her to the road just after a steady journey?"
Not surprisingly, Lu Qipei just smiled: "Then remember to bring her a rabbit back."
Time had already entered September, and it seemed that time passed faster after the autumn hunting was set. Gradually, as the day of the autumn hunting approached, the topics discussed by the people in Korea began to shift towards the autumn hunting, but the atmosphere was still relaxed.
For the civil servants, this is undoubtedly a drive-in trip. They don't care whether they can catch their prey on the hunting ground, but just take a few more days to go out and play. The generals are gearing up, just waiting for Qiu Shou to show off his skills again, especially if there are children in the family who want to show their faces by this, they are even more eager to try, only hoping that Qiu Shou's day will come soon.
Finally, in the hope of everyone, the day of autumn hunting arrived.
The hunting ground of the autumn hunter is located in Jiuyang Mountain, a hundred miles west of the capital, where the mountains are low and low and the forest density is suitable. Every spring, the mother beasts on the mountain will give birth to a large number of cubs. After more than half a year of growth, they will grow fat and strong in the fall, and they have stored fat for the winter, and they will also hunt and capture by the monarchs of Liang Kingdom. when.
The prey at this time is often unusually plump, but if you want to show up in the autumn hunting, you must also look at the precious prey.
Sitting on the carriage to Jiuyang Mountain. Lu Qipei looked at the golden autumn scenery outside the car window and then at the endless team. He was also a little interested. He turned to Qi Yang and said, "How about I help you hunt a fox back and make a collar?"
Starting too early this morning, Qi Yang didn't wake up a bit. After being bumped by the carriage for a while, sleepiness surged again. She closed her eyes and leaned on Lu Qipei's shoulders, and she didn't open her eyes when she heard the words: "The princess's mansion is so good that there are so many furs, and I don't lack a scarf. If Apei really wants to help me, it's better to catch a few rabbits and come back. Dead rabbits are good Yes, live rabbits are probably not easy to catch."
Of course, catching the rabbit is to appease Lu Sheng. The little guy didn't know where to hear the news. He got up earlier this morning than Qi Yang. When the princess was tired and went out, the little dumpling was already waiting at the door, clamoring to come together.
Fortunately, Lu Sheng is not a savage temper, crying and insisting that she doesn't. So after the two refused, she stayed in the princess mansion despite disappointment. It's just that the well-behaved little appearance is really softening, and Qi Yang emphasized that he would bring the rabbit back for her once again, which made Xiao Tuanzi laugh again.
But obviously, the now ailing princess did not want to move, and wanted to throw this trouble to Lu Qipei by the way.
Seeing her talking with her eyes closed, Lu Qipei couldn't help but smile with a slight smile while pursing her lips. He did not refuse softly, "Okay, what do you say you want, I'll go grab whatever." After that, he helped Qi Yangcong. Move the shoulders away, and directly put the person flat in her arms: "Okay, you can sleep for a while when you are sleepy. You have to walk all day on this road."
The journey of a hundred miles is not too far, but at the speed of the emperor's imperial driver, it really has to wait until the evening to arrive at the hunting ground. It's okay on the road, what do you do without sleeping?
Qi Yang only raised his eyelids when Lu Qipei lifted her up, and when he heard Lu Qipei's words in his arms, he only said "um", and then fell completely asleep in the swaying carriage.
Just like yawning, sleepiness is contagious.
Lu Qipei was originally very energetic, but looking at the unchanging autumn scenery outside the window, and then at the sweetheart sleeping soundly in his arms, he gradually became a little sleepy. She leaned against the wall of the carriage with her straight back slightly slanted, and soon fell asleep holding Qi Yang in her arms.
The horse-drawn carriage drove slowly towards the hunting ground. From time to time, young people rode their horses and whip past them, full of excitement.
The two in the carriage slept soundly, and they slept almost all morning after returning to the cage. It wasn't until nearly noon that Qi Yang woke up leisurely, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Qipei, who was sleeping soundly with his head hanging and his arms around her.
Qi Yang blinked his sleepy eyes and woke up completely. She had just woken up in Lu Qipei's arms and she was quite comfortable, and did not want to move. After a while, seeing that Lu Qipei was not awake, she pulled a strand of ink from her hair and swiped it lightly on her face.
Lu Qipei was awakened by Qi Yang, but unlike Qi Yang, she was not sleepy originally... well, it was because Qi Yang was not sleepy before going to bed. Waking up at this moment also quickly regained consciousness. There was no haziness in her dark eyes, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Qi Yang's little movement too late to withdraw, and she caught the person upright.
Qi Yang didn't panic, and swept her face while pinching her hair. Then he smiled and said, "Are you awake?"
Lu Qipei let out an "um", this voice didn't seem to have a clear eye, but a hoarse after a deep sleep. With only a soft response, the hoarse voice seemed to reveal some inexplicable hooks, which made Qi Yang's heart beat.
Fortunately, the sound of chariots and horses reminded the two of them where they were here, so the two of them just glanced at each other, their eyes lingering for a moment. Then they woke up quickly, Qi Yang also sat up from Lu Qipei's arms, and smoothly sorted out the scattered clothes and hair.
After this restorative sleep, the sleepiness and fatigue caused by getting up early disappeared completely.
After eating at noon, Qi Yang regained his energy. After sitting in the carriage for a long time, she was a little bored, and saw young people from outside beating horses back and forth. For a while, she became interested in pulling Lu Qipei out of the carriage.
The two came to hunt, they brought Liangju, and after getting off the car, they changed their horses.
Only this time in front of the civil and military forces of Manchu, Qi Yang couldn't be embarrassed to ride with Lu Qipei no matter how thick-skinned. The two of them rode two horses separately, but they walked side by side, and they were holding hands as they walked. The affection and intimacy can be seen.
